Steve Rosendale

Steve Rosendale resides in Melbourne, Australia. His work is an exploration of the past, and has the ability to re-tell those images in a contemporary and cinematic language. Rosendale draws upon a tradition that’s all around us. As an archivist, he tirelessly trawls the collective subconscious, and discarded fragments of memory. Equipped with his eye for the compositional, he juxtaposes iconography into something intransigent and thrilling.
